Question

In a certain code, 'XYZ' means 'We are friends'. Which letter stands for 'We' ?
Statements:
1. 'PYN' means 'They are classmates'.
2. 'ZMS' means 'We love them'.
3. 'PX' means 'Hello friends',

• A. Only II
• B. Only I and III
• C. All I, II and III
• D. Either I only or II only
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is E None of these

To find the code for 'we', we need to have any of the following:
(i) 'We are friends' should have only 'We' common with another statement, as in II;
(ii) 'We are friends' should have only 'are' and 'friends' common with another single or two statements, as in I and III. Thus, we need Either II only or I and III only.
